Description

Transform your 1968 Camaro's drivetrain with the ultimate TREMEC TKX five-speed package designed specifically for LS-powered first-gen F-bodies. This complete conversion eliminates the performance limitations of your original transmission while maintaining the classic console appearance and shifter position that defines the '68 interior.

The TKX's compact end-loading design and streamlined case profile allow direct installation without floor pan modifications - a critical advantage for maintaining structural integrity and originality in your first-gen Camaro. TREMEC engineered this transmission from the ground up for the aftermarket, with enhanced gear sizes and a revised double-lined carbon-fiber synchronizer package that delivers smooth shifts at up to 7,500 RPM. The single overdrive gear reduces highway RPM for improved fuel economy and engine longevity without sacrificing acceleration performance.

Every package is fully customizable based on your specific LS engine combination, power level, and intended use. Choose from wide-ratio (3.27 first gear) or close-ratio (2.87 first gear) gear sets, select hydraulic clutch release systems, and specify single or twin-disc clutch configurations to match your power output. The robust 26-spline input and 31-spline output shafts handle the substantial torque output of modern LS builds, while the ribbed three-piece aluminum housing with caged needle bearings provides exceptional durability. All gears and shafts are manufactured from special grade ASTM 4615 steel for increased torque carrying capacity.

This package includes expert guidance through our concierge selection process, ensuring optimal component matching for your project and budget. All components are designed to work together seamlessly, eliminating fitment issues and providing everything needed for a complete drivetrain upgrade. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support from MDL.
